Falcons Officially Cut QB Cooper Rush

This move comes in correspondence with the Falcons officially signing QB Andy Dalton.

Rush, 32, went undrafted out of Central Michigan back in 2017. He later signed a three-year, $1.66 million contract with the Cowboys and managed to make the 53-man roster all three seasons.

Rush signed his $2.1 million restricted free agent offer after being tendered by the Cowboys in 2020. He was later waived and claimed by the Giants, but returned to the Cowboys not long after.

He bounced on and off the roster for a couple of seasons before signing a two-year extension with the team in 2023. He then signed a two-year deal with Baltimore ahead of the 2025 season.

However, the Ravens released him this past offseason and he caught on with the Falcons in July.

In 2026, Rush has appeared in two game for the Falcons and completed 56.4 percent of his passes for 229 yards, one touchdown, and four interceptions.
